ABOUT THE AUTHOR: J.-J. Servan-Schreiber, the 44-year-old publisher-editor of L'Express, is general director of a publishing group as well, and very recently introduced into France a monthly business magazine called L'Expansion. He entered the Ecole Polytechnique in 1943, but later that year joined the Free French Forces and became a fighter pilot. After the war, and upon completion of his studies, he wrote on foreign affairs for Le Monde. Mobilized as a lieutenant, he served in Algeria in 1956-57 and returned to Paris to write a book, Lieutenant in Algeria, which scandalized the French Army and, together with his stinging editorials in L'Express, helped to influence public opinion in favor of a negotiated settlement that finally ended a long, bloody war and brought Algeria its independence..
